Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "STUDY OF CALIFORNIA LEAST TERN AT NAVAL WEAPONS STATION SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA" is a small, targeted cooperative agreement intended to expand monitoring and applied research on a breeding colony of the California Least Tern (Sternula antillarum browni). The work is centered at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach and the adjacent Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, where the colony is already being jointly managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Navy. The main idea behind the award is to strengthen on-the-ground data collection and improve the long-term dataset for this specific colony while also contributing information that is useful for broader regional management of the species.
The proposed work emphasizes increased monitoring of nesting activity and nesting success, along with banding efforts focused primarily on young birds and, to a lesser extent, some adults. By banding individuals and tracking breeding outcomes, the project is designed to produce information that can be compared against historical results at Seal Beach as well as against results from other tern colonies. That comparison element is a core deliverable: the agency is not just looking for raw field observations, but also for analysis that places the colony's productivity and trends in context, which can inform management decisions and help interpret sightings or recoveries of already-banded birds from this and other locations.
Deliverables are clearly specified in two formats. First, the recipient must produce a written scientific report provided in both hard copy (paper) and electronic form. Second, the recipient must provide the associated electronic raw data in Microsoft Excel format, with the announcement specifying compatibility with IBM AT type computers, which signals a preference for straightforward, widely compatible file formats rather than specialized databases or proprietary analytical systems. In practical terms, the work product is expected to be both scientifically interpretable (through the narrative report and analysis) and immediately usable for agency recordkeeping and future comparisons (through organized raw datasets).
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the government anticipates a more collaborative relationship than a standard grant, often with agency involvement or coordination during the project. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The sponsoring agency is NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING COMMAND. Only one award was expected. Total funding was estimated at $12,990, with an award ceiling listed at $12,900, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is aimed at research-capable organizations, specifically public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The posting and creation date were March 1, 2011, with proposals due by 4:00 PM on Thursday, March 31, 2011. The archive date was April 30, 2011, indicating the solicitation is historical and not currently open. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159.
